Product Overview
The TXU0202DCUR from Texas Instruments is a 2-bit dual-supply fixed-direction voltage-level translator in a VSSOP-8 (DCU) package. With opposite-direction channels (A1-to-B1 and B2-to-A2), Schmitt-trigger inputs, integrated pull-down resistors, and support for 1.1V to 5.5V rails at up to 200 Mbps, it is ideal for UART, SPI, and general-purpose I/O level shifting.
